Nagpur: In a surprising development, Congress leaders Rajendra Mulak, President of Nagpur District Congress, and senior leader Sunil Kedar, reportedly met Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday to discuss the Ramtek assembly constituency seat. Mulak, who has been actively working in Ramtek, was expecting to contest from this seat. However, the seat has been claimed by Shiv Sena, which included the name of Vishal Barbate in its list, much to Congress’s disappointment.
According to sources, Mulak and Kedar approached Thackeray with a request to exchange Ramtek for Umred. Congress believes it has a stronger chance of winning in Ramtek, which has raised concerns about losing an important seat to Shiv Sena.
If this report is accurate, the pressing question is: Why did Mulak and Kedar approach Uddhav Thackeray directly instead of going through the party’s internal channels? Is this a sign of growing discontent within the Congress, or a strategic move to save a key constituency from slipping out of reach? Were party officials in the loop about this meeting, or did the leaders bypass them in a bid to ensure a swift resolution?
